Art and Design (Photography)

Course summary

This course is both for students with an existing knowledge of photography or graphics and for students with a basic grounding in digital media. The course is structured to study the creation of the digital image and its use in our modern society as well as an opportunity to get hands on with a broad range of techniques including digital photography, darkroom techniques, hand drawn or digital graphics and film making. This course provides the opportunity for students to learn industry standard tools like photoshop, indesign and illustrator and also gives students a head start with a number of traditional and modern image making techniques. Because of this, it makes the course an excellent choice for any student wanting to study a creative course with a bit more of a commercial focus. As well as building experience with tools, it also leaves all students with a high quality portfolio of work which can be useful to students who need to take these on as examples for university interviews or job opportunities.
